TOPICS OF INTEREST: Papers are invited on substantial,
original, and unpublished research on all aspects of
Quantitative Linguistics, including, but not limited to, the
following.
1) Observations and descriptions of all aspects of language
and text phenomena, including the areas of
psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic typology,
stylistics, etc. as far as they use quantitative
mathematical methods (probability theory, stochastic
processes, differential and difference equations, fuzzy
logics and set theory, function theory etc.), on all levels
of linguistic analysis.
2) Applications of methods, models, or findings from
quantitative linguistics to problems of natural language
processing, machine translation, language teaching,
documentation and information retrieval - especially in the
form of automated systems of different kinds (automated
systems for scientific research, expert systems, electronic
dictionaries, parsing systems, controlled large text corpora
etc.).
3) Methodological problems of linguistic measurement,
model construction, sampling and test theory.
4) Epistemological issues such as explanation of language
and text phenomena, contributions to theory construction,
systems theory, philosophy of science.
REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMISSION: Papers should be either topical
papers (maximum six pages in final format) or project notes
with demonstration (maximum four pages), preferably in
English. Both should describe original work.The project note
should specify the computer platform that will be used. They
should emphasize completed work rather than intended work,
and they should indicate clearly the state of completion of
the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at
the QUALICO-94 Conference cannot be presented at another
conference.
FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION: Authors should submit four copies of
preliminary versions of their papers with the page limits
above, on A4 paper with the title, author(s), addresses
(including e-mail if possible), affiliation across the page
top, a short (five line) summary, the words: topical paper
or project note, and a specification of the topic area. As
well, authors are strongly urged to email the title page
information by the deadline date. Send the papers and emails
to the chairman of the program committee.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Preliminary paper submission due: 31 January, 1994
Acceptance notification: 15 May, 1994
Camera-ready copies due: 20 August, 1994
REVIEW SCHEDULE: Preliminary papers are due by 31 January
1994. Papers received after that date will be returned
unopened. Notification of receipt will be mailed to the
first author (or designated author) soon after receipt.
Designated authors will be notified of acceptance by 15
May, 1994. Camera-ready copies of final papers prepared in
a double-column format, preferably using a laser printer,
and the text in ASCII format on a diskette (MS-DOS) must be
received by 20 August at the chairman of the program committee.
Papers
received after that date may not be included in the
proceedings.
OTHER ACTIVITIES:
Anyone wishing to arrange an exhibit or present a
demonstration should send a brief description, together
with a specification of physical requirements (space,
power, telephone connections, tables, etc.) to Ana-
toliy A.Polikarpov and Reinhard Koehler.
